1 Year Anniversary and Swatches on Swatches on Swatches!

Hello! So the 13th was my 1 year anniversary of this blog! I would just like to say thank you to all of you for sticking with me this long and putting up with my ramblings and my hiatuses. :P I'm hoping to work much harder on this blog for its second year and I hope you'll all stay for the ride!

Now, the rest of this post is not going to be anything special about the year, but the other night I went a bit swatch crazy with all the make up in my "most used make up" make up bag and decided to take pictures of all of them so that I would remember exactly what everything looks like on. I used my iPhone as I didn't think this would go anywhere, but I decided to post it all up because I'd rather not have a bunch of swatches taking up space on my laptop. Please forgive the quality, but these pictures are more of a reminder for me than anything else. Lol

Friday FOTD...Kind Of

I went out with my mom tonight and I was inspired a bit by the lovely Zoe Sugg's latest blog post and liked how it turned out so I thought I'd take some pictures. Now, the reason the title says "kind of" is because the quality of these pictures, as usual, are pretty crappy and it's kind of a FOTD because you can somewhat get the gist of what my make up looked like tonight. Lol Good news, though! I will hopefully be getting a new camera for Christmas! I'm so excited because I can finally take better quality pictures for here and just in general and maybe record some videos! :) I wish Christmas would come sooner so I won't have to post any more terrible quality pictures, but my iPhone is just going to have to do for now.

Look at how beautiful miss Zoe looks and of course, the amazing quality of the photo! Lol

My attempt.
And notice, the beautiful quality of my photo here...not! Lol

And here's a peek at my outfit. Yes, I wore this to school last week, as well as tonight. :P

Unfortunately, I don't have the exact same products as Zoe, so I did what I could with what I had. I liked it! :) Here are all of the products I used:

Revlon Under Eye Concealer in Light

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector
